Abstract: A platform may use a central processing unit to run an operating system. Independently of the operating system, in the central processing unit, a hardware controller, such as a manageability engine, may be used to control which window is on the top of the Z-order and thereby control which window is displayed to the user. As a result, in some embodiments, the hardware controller can prevent an interloper or malware from interjecting an illegitimate window over a legitimate window that the user actually desired to access. In addition, a hardware indicator may be provided to assure the user when an accessed website is legitimate.

Abstract: Wireless sinks, such as displays, may receive wirelessly transmitted audio/video information in clone mode. In one embodiment, the same audio/video stream may be provided to a plurality of sinks daisy chained from a wireless receiver.

Abstract: Systems, devices and methods are described including using a Human Interface Device (HID) source device to configure a HID sink device to provide interface data such as multi-touch data. The HID source device may enable a data module in the HID sink device to generate the interface data. After receiving the interface data the HID source device may generate output data and provide the output data to the HID sink device.

Abstract: A method and system to facilitate the mapping of the DisplayPort standard over a wireless interface. The wireless interface uses a communication protocol that operates in accordance with, but is not limited to, a wireless gigabit alliance (WGA) standard, a Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11a/b/g, IEEE 802.11n, and other IEEE wireless standards, a Bluetooth standard, a Ultra-wideband (UWB) standard, and a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard. In one embodiment of the invention, it provides a definition for mapping the DisplayPort standard over a wireless interface to enable wireless display usage model with existing or new DisplayPort sink devices. The definition for mapping the DisplayPort standard over a wireless interface allows end-to-end interoperability of DisplayPort based wireless devices and facilitates the adoption of the definition as an industry standard in one embodiment of the invention.

Abstract: A method and a system are described providing multiple display systems with an enhanced acoustics experience. A source audio signal having a plurality of source audio channels is generated from an audio signal source. The system includes a plurality of speakers connected to a plurality of display systems. A speaker configuration gatherer determines the spatial configuration of the speakers. An audio signal processor is provided to generate synthesized audio signal based on the contents of the source audio signal and spatial configuration of the speakers. The synthesized audio signal is mapped and delivered to the speakers to produce an enhanced sound field.

Abstract: In general, in one aspect, the disclosure describes a method to assign unique addresses to each sink device in a content network based on port numbers of a source and branch devices in the network. Sink devices connected to a port on the source or the branch devices are assigned a corresponding port number as a sink address. Branch devices connected to a port on the source or higher level branch devices have a corresponding port number prepended to the previously assigned sink addresses.

Abstract: A source of video data may be coupled to a plurality of sinks using a wireless branch device with more than one connector. Numbers may be assigned to the connectors in a sequence depending on the wireless technology used by each connector. Examples of wireless technologies include DisplayPort, HDMI, and Wireless Gigabit Alliance. Sinks coupled to the branch device are interrogated to determine the number of connectors and each connector's wireless technology.

Abstract: Techniques are described that can be used to adjust a refresh rate of a display device. For example, the refresh rate change can be triggered by a user application for a variety of circumstances such as a change in power source from AC to DC or display of 24 frames per second (fps) video. Contents of a primary buffer can be copied to a secondary buffer and a display engine can read video from the secondary buffer to provide video to a display. The clock rate of a clock used to read out pixels can be adjusted using software commands. Video is written to a third buffer and during a vertical blanking interval the display engine reads frames from the third buffer instead of the second buffer.
